The proposed quantitative description of the bioreactor takes into account biomass growth on inert carriers, microorganisms decay and interphase biomass transfer. Stationary characteristics of the bioreactor and local stability of steady-stateswere determined. The influence of microbiological growth kinetics on the multiplicity of steady-states was discussed. The relationship between biofilm growth and boundaries of fluidized bed existence was shown.}, type={Article}, title={Steady state characteristics of a three-phase fluidized bed bioreactor with partial biomass recirculation}, URL={http://ochroma.man.poznan.pl/Content/110014/PDF/07_art_CPE_2019_1.pdf}, doi={10.24425/cpe.2019.126102}, keywords={fluidized bed, bioreactor, mathematical modeling, steady states}, }
